Families In Kildare Paying Up To €288 Per Week For Childcare

In response, the National Women’s Council (NWC) has launched a campaign urging political leaders to commit to a public early childhood education system ahead of the upcoming election.

Families in Kildare are paying up to €288 per week per child for full-time childcare.

In response, the National Women’s Council (NWC) has launched a campaign urging political leaders to commit to a public early childhood education system ahead of the upcoming election.

Supported by over 30 organisations, the NWC’s "Together for Public" campaign advocates for affordable, quality childcare through a public model.

The campaign’s online tool allows families to call for key reforms, including fee caps, fair wages for educators, and publicly accessible childcare options across Ireland.
